About this villa rental
Located along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast (exactly halfway between Sorrento and Positano, both about 4 miles away), our property is a bright and sunny four-story villa carved into the ancient stone of a magnificent seaside cliff, sheer above the sea. The property's amazing panorama of the sea and the small Li Galli islands (legendary home of Mermaids) will leave you with visions you will never forget.
The main Villa features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (plus 2 half baths) and can accommodate up to 8 people (2 extra sofa-beds are available at small extra charge).
A detached Cottage/Annex features 1 double bedroom (and 1 double sofa-bed) and a rooftop Hot-Tub. It can accommodate additional 2 + 2 people (This is available at extra charge. Please ask for more details and pictures).
When you are into the Villa you’ll forget anything and you’ll have the sensation to be in a dream world. But, at the same time, you are in the heart of the Amalfi Coast (few minutes away from all the major tourist attractions).

The Villa has four stories and is surrounded by 350 metres of private tropical gardens (overlooking the sea) which extend throughout the whole property. Because it is built along the side of a mountain into the rock, you can choose a variety of different 'platforms' from which to look out at the Sea and where the only voice you will hear is that of the waves.
Richly colored bougainvilleas and sculptural agaves lend an additional air of romance to the Villa’s elongated pathways and garden.
Fully equipped with modern amenities, including 2 gourmet kitchens indoor and out, as well as a sauna, private swimming pool, gym area, terraced bar area, hydro-therapy pool, outdoor wood stove, WOOD PIZZA OVEN, WiFi internet connection and more, the Villa also maintains an intimate and magical feeling that will surpass all expectations.

My family had a fabulous time at this beautiful villa. Once you go through the door from the street, you enter a magical place. The path to the villa is breathtaking and is filled with beautiful plants and scenic overlooks. Each time you walk the path you discover something new. The villa itself is very charming. The views were magnificent. Our favorite spot was the cave bar where we hung out every evening. Our host Vincenzo helped plan excursions to wineries, day trips, boat trip to Capri, arranged drivers for us and provided us with recomendations for great restaurants. Our favorite evenings at the villa were eating delicious dinners prepared for us by local chefs. We had a pasta cooking class, a seafood dinner and a pizza making night. We felt a connection to all of his associates and will miss everyone. I wish I had the words to describe the feeling of living in a place with such inspiring beauty. Others decribe this as a once in a lifetime vacation, as it is, however I'm going back.

Wow! This villa’s beauty is indescribable. No photos could do it justice and my description will surely fail as well. My family of six adults (two couples and two individuals— so occupying four bedrooms) had an amazing stay that we will remember for a lifetime. We enjoyed the “off season.” The weather was mild and not too cold to enjoy the expansive outdoor space and the Amalfi and Sorrento coasts were calm without being desolate. Overall a relaxing, beautiful experience. Highly recommend
5.0 / 5.0
This villa is amazing! First off words and pictures will never do this place justice, you have to see it in person. We came across the villa on VRBO and immediately fell in love with it, it looked unique and it definitely was.
We were a total group of 10 people, we booked the main villa and separate cottage and there was more than enough room to accommodate us all. The property is huge, even after spending a week there I was still discovering little nooks and crannies of the property that I didn’t even know were there! The time and care put into every aspect of this villa from the decor to the landscaping is simply amazing and the views are breathtaking!
The villa itself is wonderful but, what really took this experience over the top was Vincenzo. I was in communication with Vincenzo for about a year before our trip and he was nothing but helpful. He assisted us with planning our week on the Amalfi Coast and booked the most wonderful activities for us from a private chartered boat trip to Capri, Amalfi Coast sightseeing and winery tour and my personal favorite was the Day in the Countryside tour. We also decided to have some meals prepared for us in the villa which were amazing! Do not miss out on the pizza extravaganza, we added that on last minute and were so glad we did, it was the best pizza we ate while in Italy. Vincenzo is top notch when it comes to hospitality, the level of service he provides to his guests is exemplary! This villa and Vincenzo’s service far exceeded our expectations, so book it you will not be disappointed! I can’t wait to go back!

You think you know what you are getting by looking at the pictures and reading the reviews... but you have no idea. The villa should be in a James Bond movie. There is no way to describe the surreal way you feel walking alongside a cliff to wherever you would like to go... the pool, the bar, the point, the chicken coop... the size of this property is utterly amazing. Do whatever Vincenzo recommends... all of our tours and dinners were 5 stars. His staff and the people he works with, have a level of service that is second to none. Don't go out for dinner, have Vincenzo set you up. I would have had his staff cook for me every night if I had any clue how amazing our meals were going to be. I truly don't know if I will ever have a vacation like the one I had here. The bar has been set so high. I live in Hawaii, I know paradise, I know tourism, I know service, and I know that Vincenzo, his villa and his team ---ALL deserve A +++++.
5.0 / 5.0
My friends and I just finished a week long stay at the Villa. From the initial reservation of the Villa to the regular correspondence with Vincenzo regarding what 1st class tours he could arrange for us, every last detail of our Holiday was amazingly taken care of by Vincenzo. From the moment we were picked up in Naples by Gerry and Luigi, until the sad day that we had to leave this amazing place, the service Vincenzo and his staff provided us with was impeccable. Vincenzo is very proud of this magnificent Villa his father built over 30 years ago and upon arrival, Vincenzo personally welcomed us and gave us a wonderful tour pointing out every nook and cranny of this unreal property and what it took to create this amazing cliff side paradise. From the breathtaking views of the Villa, to the overly accommodating staff, to the in-home chef prepared traditional Italian meals and Pizza Extravaganza, to the gardens and chicken coop providing fresh eggs for breakfast in the morning, the Villa is superbly maintained and there are no words to describe the attention to detail and utter beauty and of this place. We were made to feel as part of his family from the moment we arrived and I can't recommend this villa highly enough. It is definitely at least a once in a lifetime place to stay, if not a place to come back to again and again. It is truly a 5 star absolute heavenly place . The one word that we always used among our group to describe this place was simply... MAGICAL!! We were all so sad we had to leave this piece of paradise and we already know we will be back one day, hopefully sooner than later!!
5.0 / 5.0
We just spent an amazing 2 weeks at the villa. When you book online you always hope the property will be as nice as it looks in the pictures. This is one of the few times the pictures just didn't do it justice. The villa and the story behind it are so unique. The creativity and detail that went into building a villa into the ledge of a cliff is amazing (and so are the views!). On top of that the service Vincenzo and his staff provided was outstanding (special thanks to Rita and Regina!!!). Vincenzo was so helpful in setting up whatever activities we wanted, providing advice, directions, etc. His level of service took our vacation from great to outstanding. For activities, would highly recommend the boat trip to Capri and the trip up to Ravello and the winery. I'd also highly recommend having Rita and Regina come into to cook for you. The best meals we had were in the villa not at the restaurants. We did it 3-4 times over the 2 weeks and every one was outstanding. Thanks again Vincenzo for sharing your family's villa and making our Amalfi vacation a truly memorable experience!!!
5.0 / 5.0
What an incredible experience! I never would have believed that I could stay IN a mountain for a week! This villa was an architectural amazement. One wall of this villa IS the mountain; beautifully crafted as a naturally possible. Although I did not participate in all of the wonderful outings (the hikes were a bit much for my knees), staying at the villa was a thrill in itself. The pool, all of the walkways (including the garden and chickens), and just the VIEW was the perfect vacation. Add the wonderful Vincenzo, the concierge, it was truly the experience of a lifetime!
5.0 / 5.0
Most incredible and unique experience we have ever had. This Villa is carved into the cliffs of Amalfi. Staying in the top sky bedroom, my wife and i felt like we were in the penthouse of a yacht. All you see is water and beautiful islands all around you. The villa is spacious and comfortable for a large family (we had 7 of us with three kids and 4 adults). Every inch of the villa was designed and built with care and love. I walked down to the garden to take fresh eggs,tomatoes and herbs for morning omelets that I cooked in front of huge windows overlooking the sea. After a long day of sightseeing we would dive in the pool hanging off the cliff. Dinner was served to us from the outdoor kitchen in the most beautiful setting I’ve ever eaten. This villa is ridiculous! Vincento’s concierge service was truly top notch. He made certain that every day, every meal, every experience was going to be the best possible. Our kids will remember this trip forever.

This was truly a one of a kind villa. If you're traveling to the Amalfi Coast with a group of family and friends you will be treated to a unique experience. The property owner Vincenzo will make your experience exceptional!
5.0 / 5.0
The most unique property we have ever stayed at. Perfect for a group of 12. From the minute we booked the trip, until the minute we left we had complete customer service from Vincenzo. Suggestions about where to eat and which excursions to do. We really enjoyed Capri, and the afternoon at the winery outside ravello was so memorable. He arranged all our transportation for 12 in two vans which were clean and always on time . The food prepared by his staff was delicious and authentic. The best pizza we have ever had!!. If you want a vacation without stress and managing the unknown, I would highly recommend a stay at this villa . You will not be disappointed !

This is our third visit to this villa and each time is more wonderful than the last. It is impossible to describe in mere words and pictures, as beautiful as they are, simply do not capture the beauty of the villa, the outdoor property and the panoramic views. Whether its Waking to the bird call, watching the sun rise over the sea, taking in the warm energy if the sun by the pool, dining in fresh vegetables from the garden or enjoying the variety of special meals outdoors while gazing at the moon with its sparkling reflection on the sea....this is an experience that we will never forget! We count the days til our next visit to this magnificent villa.
2.5 / 5.0
My family and I were beyond thrilled with our experience at the villa. The property itself is incredible--as everyone else says, photos are unable to capture the magnificence of the house and its views--and Vincenzo anticipated and attended to our every want and need.
Vincenzo helped us create a custom itinerary of experiences that made our trip even more unforgettable. Even though it was hard to leave the villa after the peaceful, home-cooked breakfasts every morning overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, every day we were whisked away on another incredible adventure: from private tours of a pasta factory and then a winery, to excursions to Capri, Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento and other towns along the Amalfi Coast, to the homemade pizza (the best you'll ever eat!), Vincenzo really creates an amazing, unique experience.
We saw so much, learned so much, laughed so much, and ATE so much, yet we never had to worry about a thing.
We will never forget this trip and our incredible experience. Vincenzo takes care of every detail and works tirelessly to ensure that his guests have the best time possible. There's no way you won't have the time of your life here!

Friends of mine have been going here for 7 years and I finally decided to join them this year. In a word, spectacular. The pictures do not do this justice...you really have to go there and experience this place. I'd consider myself pretty well traveled and this place ranks in my top 3 of all-time best trips. From the warmth of your hosts to the myriad of things to do to just relaxing and doing nothing but enjoying the pool, this villa will meet and exceed your expectations.
It is built into the rocks on the side of a mountain overlooking the ocean and the Galli Islands. At 980 feet up, you could not ask for a better view. The property was built by hand over a 30 year period and the details and layout of the villa is amazing. It has stunning decor and plants throughout the villa, reflecting the owners personal touch. It stretches over a football field in length along the cliffs, features solid rock walls, mulitiple resting areas, an outdoor pool and spa, a full-sized grotto bar, and other amenities that make this one of the nicest places I have stayed.
Our choice was to break up the trip with excursions to outlying areas one day and a relaxation/pool day the next. The owners can arrange all sorts of activities that should satisfy everyone's needs. On the "not to miss" list...a private boat ride along the Amalfi coast, a visit to a pasta factory, a day visit to the grottoes and island of Capri, a must-do (probably new to the list) visit to the royal castle at Caserta (the most astounding castle I have ever seen or heard of), cooking class at a neighboring villa, and then the on-site activities like the welcome meal, pizza party, etc. We had every meal on the covered outdoor eating area (again, overlooking the ocean) and they also have a wood fired pizza oven which got a great work out one evening when the owners family came over and shared the wonderful Napoli pizza that the area is famous for. There is a wonderful restaurant one level down from the villa called Silenzio Cantatore, which had a covered outdoor eating area that is very private and away from the main restaurant. Other good local restaurants within 5 minutes of the villa include Zio Sam's, Il Panorama (and yes, the views were spectacular) and La Rosa's.
The villa is large enough to give each guest a great amount of privacy and the nearby towns of Sorrento and Pasitano offer ample night life and shopping opportunities.
For the trip of a lifetime, do not miss this place!

The views outside and inside of this villa are stunning. The rooms are each unique and hand crafted. The garden and vegetation is beautiful and relaxing. Each exotic tree and plant is placed in perfect harmony with the stone walls of the hill, the sea views, and the multitude of benches and seating areas for reflection and good company. The fruit trees and herbs, and the wood-burning pizza oven, made this a cook's delight. The villa is private and secluded. Don't worry about the steps and the path. They were a joy to walk. The manager was beyond helpful. He anticipated our every need and was always available to answer questions. He led us to excellent restaurants and set up a fabulous private boat tour to Capri. His sister drove us to out-of-the-way shopping and he gave us directions to the best hidden bakery. A wonderful experience for a group of traveling friends!

This villa was so much more than my family ever expected. The beautiful pictures even fail to capture the essence of this villa. The viilla was spotless. The grounds were beautiful. The family and staff were attentive to our needs.
This is a place everyone should experience once in a lifetime.

Vincenzo takes excellent care of this property and his guests. We are very thankful for all the time he spent rearranging (successfully) our plans after we had car breakdown problems. Be sure to consider the experiences he offers and I would recommend taking advantage of as many in villa experiences as your budget allows. We are still talking about his pizza and received wonderful massages. We also enjoyed a number of tours and Vincenzo made sure everything ran smoothly. This property is located at a reasonable midpoint for many of the touring locations (all take longer than km indicate due to traffic and roads) but you should relax and enjoy staying in as much as possible. You are able to walk up to a local shop/town in 7 minutes. If you opt to stay here with private drivers and all arrangements handled...lucky you! If you are like us, you will find that this is a great spot to do things on your own, but do allow Vincenzo to help. I cannot stress how much we enjoyed the villa location and preferred enjoying time in rather than seeing too many sights (which you are better choosing a few rather than feeling the need to see everything). The villa spacing and design offers many areas for group socializing but also has so many tucked away balconies and gardens (with stunning views and foliage) that even with a houseful you will find a quiet spot out of view from other guests. There are 2 bdrms downstairs with private baths, a master on the 2nd floor with a hallway bath, and the futon/exercise room (the best views) with a hallway bath upstairs. There are also a few hallway beds/sofas and the annex to have more people sleep (and the property will accommodate 3 times that number of people comfortably for living and socializing). The villa was extremely well cleaned (not a speck of dust on all the decorations). The beds varied in comfort, but were a solid mid level or above in all cases. The amenities found throughout the property will meet all your needs. The pictures accurately show the property but do not begin to show the amazing design, landscape, and outdoor areas. The interior is comfortable but the exterior and location is 10 star and so is the service provided by Vincenzo so I highly recommend this holiday retreat (and my teenage and young adult children agree).
